OK FOLKS!! Here it is!! The secret recipe for my World-Famous

High-Protein Blueberry Muffins

Oven Temp: 400ºF
Baking Time: 20 minutes

12 Muffins (or 9 large muffins)

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg

1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup wheat germ (or more)
1/4 cup dry milk
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
(Add 1/2 tsp salt if using sweet butter)

1 cup milk
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen, halved.

Crumb Topping
Combine: 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or more)
Cut in: 1/4 cup butter.

• Cream together butter and brown sugar. Beat in the egg.

• In another bowl, combine dry ingredients. Mix well.

• Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to the butter mixture. Stir until combined. DO NOT over beat. Gently fold in blueberries.

• Fill greased muffin pans. Sprinkle Crumb Topping over each muffin.

• Bake at 400ºF for 20 minutes. Let muffins cool a few minutes before removing from pan.

If you SKIP the Crumb Topping, add the cinnamon to the dry ingredients of the muffins.

Nutritional Note:
The wheat germ complements the flour and almost doubles the protein value. The dry milk supplements the flour and increases the protein value by 50%.
